The toys of Russia, speaking gen- erally, are simple, often roughly fash- ioned and unostentatious, like the muzhik himself. Dolls, of coiirse, form an important and favorite group. In the rural districts they are generally of weod. In the wide agricultural dis- tricts of central Russia the little ones sometimes have dolls made of straws tied at the wrists, neck, and walst. times made of moss, pine cones and objects seem to be horscs, women, with raiment carved fn rellef and painted, and birds. are less frequent, and when found are generally in company with their friend, the horse. P “According to Hoyle.” Edmund Hoyle (1672-1769) was an English writer on whist and other card games. He was the first man to sys- tematize the laws of whist, and for a time he supported himself by teach- ing the game. His famous “Short Trbatise on Whist” appeared in Lon- don fn 1742. Rules for other games, which ‘included the “Short Treatise,” has passed into many editions. His name. has become proverbial, and “Hoyle,” in common speech, means a book of rules and instructions for card in life, before they are cremated. The | Sigmese language 1s a difficult tongue ! for, a European to learn, as it has five tones.

The fear of poverty is not In itself a bad thing, writes Dr. CI particular grace. Greed, on the other hand, Is always bhad. ‘]t is plainly the outcropping of the hog in human nature. "It is the fear of poverty run amuck. Tt is il- lustrated by the drunkard who often had too much but never got enough. Greed is at the bottom of most of our troubles today and has been equally every class. We can neyer come to permanent social peace while the fear of poverty embitters one-half the peo- ple and greed drives the other half to self-destruction. Nor will it get us anywhere to infect the whole popula- tion with the greed germ and turn so- ciety into a glorified trough. Few Japanese Marry for Love.
